Multiple Borel-Cantelli Lemma is a criterion that characterizes the occurrence of multiple rare events on the same time scale. We generalize the multiple Borel-Cantelli Lemma in dynamics established by Dolgopyat, Fayad and Liu [J. Mod. Dyn.…

We describe a representation and a set of inference methods that combine logic programming techniques with probabilistic network representations for uncertainty (influence diagrams). The techniques emphasize the dynamic construction and…

In this paper we continue to study so called ``inverse Born's rule problem'': to construct representation of probabilistic data of any origin by a complex probability amplitude which matches Born's rule. The corresponding algorithm --…

Recently, Brandt et al. [STOC'16] proved a lower bound for the distributed Lov\'asz Local Lemma, which has been conjectured to be tight for sufficiently relaxed LLL criteria by Chang and Pettie [FOCS'17]. At the heart of their result lies a…

Rowland and Zeilberger devised an approach to algorithmically determine the modulo $p^r$ reductions of values of combinatorial sequences representable as constant terms (building on work of Rowland and Yassawi). The resulting $p$-schemes…

We study the computational power of randomized computations on infinite objects, such as real numbers. In particular, we introduce the concept of a Las Vegas computable multi-valued function, which is a function that can be computed on a…

Large graphs are sometimes studied through their degree sequences (power law or regular graphs). We study graphs that are uniformly chosen with a given degree sequence. Under mild conditions, it is shown that sequences of such graphs have…

In $p$-adic Hodge theory and the $p$-adic Langlands program, Banach spaces with $\mathbb{Q}_p$-coefficients and $p$-adic Lie group actions are central. Studying the subrepresentation of $\Gamma$-locally analytic vectors, $W^{\mathrm{la}}$,…

We propose two simple, principled and practical algorithms that enjoy provable scaling laws for the test-time compute of large language models (LLMs). The first one is a two-stage knockout-style algorithm: given an input problem, it first…

We present Lilac, a separation logic for reasoning about probabilistic programs where separating conjunction captures probabilistic independence. Inspired by an analogy with mutable state where sampling corresponds to dynamic allocation, we…
